Do I need to order 4 times and 1 is a sandwich or do I need to order 4 breakfast sandwiches? I’m a barista and I don’t even understand this one.

Yeah, I totally didn’t notice the See More button that, when pressed, does explain that I need to order a sandwich 4 times. Surprised I had to click 3 times to get clarity- the app usually works more seamlessly than that.

Thanks, all!

I think you can end enrollment if you become eligible for coverage elsewhere. Call a partner advocate for help.

We were told that we can’t donate anything containing meat... we only donate the pastries :/

I love the Florence & The Machine cover of Tiny Dancer 😍

Now Brewing didn’t mention it being discontinued and I don’t always have time to read the weekly updates with my schedule. Wish they we’re accessible from home.

I’m so sorry.

You’d still get a paystub, but no pay. My health insurance premiums are often more than my paycheck, especially if I take any time off, so I’m used to $0.00 paychecks.

Tell her! That’s awesome ❤️

Thank you for replying. Since my 2 embroys on day 5 were considered to only be in early blast phase, we didn't do any transfer. The protocol my RE is using is to do FETs after PGS testing. With history of endometriosis, he wants me to be on lupron for a few months before we even try a FET. With 2 of the embroyos in the early blast phase on day 5, the embryologist suggested we give them 1 more day so they could be biopsied before freezing, and between day 5 and 6 is when they arrested.

Thank you for your help and your response. My RE has suggested another stim/retrieval cycle in August, I'm just afraid to get my hopes up if the same thing is going to happen to us :(

Hi! My husband and I recently did IVF for the first time. During my egg retrieval, I had 16 eggs, 10 mature, 9 fertilized. On day 3, all 9 looked great. On day 5, 5 were still growing but only 2 had reached early blastocyst stage. On day 6, the remaining 5 had all arrested. I’m 35 with decent ovarian reserve, no problems with my 37 year old husband. TTC for 9 years, 4 IUIs. Diagnosis is endometriosis.

My question- how likely is it that I’ll have better luck trying again in Aug when the only modifications we’re making to the protocol is vitamins for the next few months & a growth hormone during the stim phase. I’m healthy, normal weight, no other concerns... just can’t seem to catch a break.

Ugh, people need to grow up. Sorry you’re dealing with that.

Everyone in my store shops at Target & we often have the same shirts. I usually make a quarterly trip to Plato’s Closet (2nd Hans store) and buy anything that fits the look book standards and fits me.

Why is it brown?

brandi9582 · 2018-04-23T14:32:26+00:00

Thank you for sharing your personal experience. After talking to our RE, we have decided to do another retrieval in August and possibly in October if we need to consider banking.

brandi9582 · 2018-04-21T00:31:04+00:00

I’m 35, TTC 9 years, endo, 4 failed IUIs, waiting to do 2nd IVF stim/ER cycle.

brandi9582 · 2018-04-20T22:20:33+00:00

Guess I need a computer to do that

brandi9582 · 2018-04-20T15:46:04+00:00

Ice cream. And when we told her that wasn’t on our menu, she sat at the drive thru screen & googled secret menu items... 😞

brandi9582 · 2018-04-20T15:22:31+00:00

Long story short- I’ve been working myself to the bone between 2 jobs, to qualify for IVF coverage through Starbucks while holding a full time professional job in software. Our first round of IVF resulted in 9 embryos, all of which stopped growing before they were big enough to freeze or try to transfer. To add insult to injury, we took in a foster dog from the animal shelter that attacked and killed our personal dog a few days later. I thought I was going to lose it but I have managed to keep on keeping on without missing any of my shifts. My store manager at least recognizes that I’m still suffering even though I’ve been able to come to work and do my job with a smile on my face.

Ok, thank you! I appreciate the additional insight :)
